Heavy Rain Damages Street in Poplar Improvement Project
The heavy rains of last week did considerable damage at one point to the Poplar street improvement project.
The heavy rain caused water to flow over the embankment on the south edge of town along the railroad tracks at a point near the Werner elevator.
The volume of earth carried away completely covered a sidetrack in the rail yards and left one box car buried up to the doors so that the car appeared to be setting down on the ground rather than on wheels.
Elsewhere the street project has reached the stage where the crushed rock and oil mat are ready to be laid. The equipment for part of the work is expected to arrive in the next few days and the final stage of the work is expected to start in the near future.

second degree
Judge Loucks was substituting for Judge James T. Shea of Glasgow.
The judge set a bond of $20,000 on the murder charge. Although most capital offenses are not bailable. Judge Loucks asked the county attorney if he would object to the court setting bail for Morran since, "proof is not evident nor presumption great." The $5.000 bail which Morran was first under on the arson count is still in effect, making a total bond of $25,-000.
The murder charge is based on a point of law, known as the "murder felony rule" which says that if, in the commission of a felony, a homicide occurs, the law makes the offense murder in the first degree.
Prosecutors Harry L. Burns. Chinook, Bnd County Attorney Willis M. McKeon, Phillips county, will attempt to prove that Morran sent Freestone and Bishop into the station for the purpose of burning the structure.
Judge Loucks has set July 20, 10 a.m., as the time for Morran to plead to both informations.

DONORS GIVE $395 TOTAL TO HOSPITAL
The campaign to raise funds to meet the operating deficit of the Poplar City hospital has collected a total of $395 to date. The largest single donation was $200.
Names of the donors who gave the money are J. D. Brown. Clarence Wilke. Mrs. Ruth Johnson. Peder Moe. Konrad Kopperman. and a friend, who asked not to have his name published.
The hospital was faced with unlaid bills in the amount of approximately $6.000 at the time tin-drive was started. This "red" on, the books was built up at the rale of about $150 per month over a period of about 40 months.
The hospital board explains the shortage in this way. They have endeavored to give the best possible care and in line with that practice have kept registered nurses on duty at all times. They have also added new equipment to meet the standards of the State Board of Health. The patient load has frequently been too small to meet operating costs, and they have also taken in patients who were unable to pay.
The financial affairs of the local hospital are very much like many others, even in the large cities, where it is necessary to conduct drives annually to meet operating losses. Few small town hospitals pay out financially, but they are necessary to meet the needs of the people when they are ill or injured. It is from thit latter group, who are taken in in an emergency without regard for their ability to pay, who often times are unable to pay their hospital bill.
The drive for funds will continue until 'he hospital is out of the "red." Only by the help of the people of this community will the hospital be able to remain open to serve in the time of need.

Recreation Group Selects Officers to Conduct Program
WHEAT OUTLOOK IN TRADE AREA THE BEST EVER
Prospects for a bumper wheat harvest in the Poplar trade area, both north and south of the river and in the Brockton community, were never better at this time of the year.
The ample moisture and cool weather have produced excellent stands. The recent moisture has been enough to almost guarantee a crop if hail or some other crop hazard does not intervene.
In some areas north of Brockton hit by the cloudburst shortly after seeding time, the crop is later where it was reseeded and even that which was not replanted has made an excellent recovery.
With the present crop conditions Poplar citizens have a bright outlook for the coming harvest.

Heavy Rain Damages Street in Poplar Improvement Project
The heavy rains of last week did considerable damage at one point to the Poplar street improvement project.
The heavy rain caused water to flow over the embankment on the south edge of town along the railroad tracks at a point near the Werner elevator.
The volume of earth carried away completely covered a sidetrack in the rail yards and left one box car buried up to the doors so that the car appeared to be setting down on the ground rather than on wheels.
Elsewhere the street project has reached the stage where the crushed rock and oil mat are ready to be laid. The equipment for part of the work is expected to arrive in the next few days and the final stage of the work is expected to start in the near future.

second degree
Judge Loucks was substituting for Judge James T. Shea of Glasgow.
The judge set a bond of $20,000 on the murder charge. Although most capital offenses are not bailable. Judge Loucks asked the county attorney if he would object to the court setting bail for Morran since, "proof is not evident nor presumption great." The $5.000 bail which Morran was first under on the arson count is still in effect, making a total bond of $25,-000.
The murder charge is based on a point of law, known as the "murder felony rule" which says that if, in the commission of a felony, a homicide occurs, the law makes the offense murder in the first degree.
Prosecutors Harry L. Burns. Chinook, Bnd County Attorney Willis M. McKeon, Phillips county, will attempt to prove that Morran sent Freestone and Bishop into the station for the purpose of burning the structure.
Judge Loucks has set July 20, 10 a.m., as the time for Morran to plead to both informations.

DONORS GIVE $395 TOTAL TO HOSPITAL
The campaign to raise funds to meet the operating deficit of the Poplar City hospital has collected a total of $395 to date. The largest single donation was $200.
Names of the donors who gave the money are J. D. Brown. Clarence Wilke. Mrs. Ruth Johnson. Peder Moe. Konrad Kopperman. and a friend, who asked not to have his name published.
The hospital was faced with unlaid bills in the amount of approximately $6.000 at the time tin-drive was started. This "red" on, the books was built up at the rale of about $150 per month over a period of about 40 months.
The hospital board explains the shortage in this way. They have endeavored to give the best possible care and in line with that practice have kept registered nurses on duty at all times. They have also added new equipment to meet the standards of the State Board of Health. The patient load has frequently been too small to meet operating costs, and they have also taken in patients who were unable to pay.
The financial affairs of the local hospital are very much like many others, even in the large cities, where it is necessary to conduct drives annually to meet operating losses. Few small town hospitals pay out financially, but they are necessary to meet the needs of the people when they are ill or injured. It is from thit latter group, who are taken in in an emergency without regard for their ability to pay, who often times are unable to pay their hospital bill.
The drive for funds will continue until 'he hospital is out of the "red." Only by the help of the people of this community will the hospital be able to remain open to serve in the time of need.

Recreation Group Selects Officers to Conduct Program
WHEAT OUTLOOK IN TRADE AREA THE BEST EVER
Prospects for a bumper wheat harvest in the Poplar trade area, both north and south of the river and in the Brockton community, were never better at this time of the year.
The ample moisture and cool weather have produced excellent stands. The recent moisture has been enough to almost guarantee a crop if hail or some other crop hazard does not intervene.
In some areas north of Brockton hit by the cloudburst shortly after seeding time, the crop is later where it was reseeded and even that which was not replanted has made an excellent recovery.
With the present crop conditions Poplar citizens have a bright outlook for the coming harvest.
